Cuda
The largest Torpedo Diver will give you a great angle of attack keeping your lure close to the boat.
Musky
A medium Torpedo Diver is used when you want your lure further from the boat.
Shark
A Shark Torpedo Diver is used when desired angle of attack is to be at closer to
45 degrees.
Snapper
The smallest diver gives the least angle of attack. You have to put lots of fishing line to reach greater depths.
"It's amazing how it cuts through the water and attracts fish. You have to try it to believe it."
"I guide on St. Clair and on Erie. I like your product (Torpedo Divers) for those days when the norm isn't working,
but as the season progressed it became more of the norm to use them."
"I am happy to tell you the first hit of the night was the Torpedo!
It was a pleasure to see how fast this worked. I am very pleased with the way these perform.
Especially without doing anything special. Thanks again for a great product."

Torpedo Divers on Their Own
Torpedo Divers are a stealth presentation and should be used on the outside of downriggers and disk type divers. The angler is able to position his lures anywhere in the water column, giving the Torpedo Diver an advantage over other stealth presentations. Baits can now be added above, below or to the outside of non-stealth presentations. This new way of fishing has given our captains a competitive edge.

Torpedo Diver Trolling CombinationsTorpedo Divers can be used in combinations with other fishing methods to provide more stealth, more depth and more excitement on your fishing line. See our Trolling Page for a variety of options and how they work. You can use the links below to go directly to the specific combination you are interesting in finding out about.
With all of these methods for using the Torpedo Diver the Torpedo Divers are always outside of the cone of disturbance as this is the most effect position for them.

Depth ChartsA variety of depth charts have been created to help you most effectively use your Torpedo Diver. Our Depth Charts page has charts available specific to each Torpedo Size from speeds of 1mph to 4mph increasing by increments of .1mph to give you as much accuracy as we can. This same information is also available speed specific with additional speeds from 4.5mph to 10mph by increments of .5mph. All of these charts are available for you to print out and take with you on your next fishing adventure. For your quick reference we are including links to printable versions of each of the Torpedo Divers here: Lures and dodgers/flasher/rotators all have drag. A 4-inch lure will cause your presentation to lose two feet of depth, a magnum spoon will lose 5 feet of depth and dodgers/flasher/rotators will lose 7 feet of depth. This is important information when making precise depth presentation.

Why Use a Torpedo Diver?
The Torpedo Diver has very little resistance, a four year old child can reel in the Cuda sized Torpedo Diver. The little resistance also means you are seeing your baits action and you will know if your line is fouled when the rod tip action changes. Reach any depth desired by clipping on more Torpedo Divers. Your depth ratio becomes just above 2:1 or two feet of line out to one foot down. Get more lines in the water by stacking smaller Torpedo Divers on top of larger Torpedo Divers when fishing structure or when making tight turns. Fish wide and deep with Planer boards or Off shore inline boards. The Torpedo Diver does not use a release, meaning the Angler has direct contact with the lure. With the Torpedo Diver you will always know if you have a fish on! The Torpedo Diver is designed to turn sideways for a moment when a fish strikes. This sideways movement causes maximum drag and gives the Angler more time to set the hook.
Did a fish strike but get off? No need to reset the line, simply look at the rod tip’s action in anticipation of the next strike. Walleye are notorious for become very active the last half hour before sundown. With the Torpedo Divers a walleye hit will be instantly known, no need to look twice at the rod.

The Torpedo Diver is a troller's tool providing a simple method of lowering fishing line to precision depths while maintaining contact with the lure.
The shape of the Torpedo Diver gives it the efficiency to achieve depths far deeper than would be expected from its weight with minimal drag.
Setup of the Torpedo Diver is Easy.
The Torpedo Diver provides a simple, efficient method to get lures deep and away from the boat!
If the Angler is not paying attention when fighting a fish the line could go slack due to not reeling in fast enough, in this case the Torpedo Diver will drop below the fish and thus will aid in keeping pressure on the hook.
